Our Liz Glover dropped by the National Portrait Gallery to ask bitter voters about Stephen Colbert’s dignified triple portrait, which enjoyed a limited engagement hanging in the restroom foyer, over the water fountain. The answers may repulse you! (Thanks to Dawne Langford for the camera work.)

Most DC residents think of the International Spy Museum as either that place where my nieces and nephews go while I’m taking a break from their visit, or the expensive one. The museum, perhaps chastened by its you know — for kids! reputation, has launched a sexy, not-at-all-exploitive new ad campaign (shown above, shot yesterday at the Farragut North Metro station) to let everybody know that they’ve got hos, babes, and naughty secrets as well! And that hot thing in the ad? She’s totally a spy! I bet! Bitch set me up!

Do you like “edgy” art? Perhaps a fat naked guy in body paint? Well, do we have a gallery of Not Safe For Work pictures for you! MORE »
